Sure; but there's been no resistance from anyone from including the

There certainly is from me. The userspace interface is not reasonable
for guest applications to use.
One example that would readily come to mind is dbus. A daemon running on
the guest that reads data off the port and interacts with the desktop by
appropriate dbus commands. All that's needed is a stream of bytes and
virtio-serial provides just that.
